Question

The fit is relative to the tranny mostly. Then comes electrical etc, etc.
What's the plan? Are you staying stock or dropping in a 460?
Have you laid out a budget to include upgrades & etc?

you can drop any thing in from a 4.0L V6 up to the 460 V8. the 302/5.0 is the most common. but have fun with it and let us know on how it goes
